The word "associative" comes from "associate" or "group";the Associative Property is the rule that refers to grouping. For addition, the rule is "<span>a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c</span><span>"; in numbers, this means
</span>2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4. For multiplication, the rule is "<span>a(bc) = (ab)c</span>"; in numbers, this means2(3×4) = (2×3)4<span>. Any time they refer to the Associative Property, they want you to regroup things; any time a computation depends on things being regrouped, they want you to say that the computation uses the Associative Property.</span>
Half of 126 is 63 because 63+63=126 and 126/2=63
You would times it by -5
20/-4 = -5
-100/20 = -5
4m + 5
Remove the parenthesis and collect like terms
3m + m + 5 = (3m + m) + 5 = 4m + 5
I believe it is B, because going down would be negative, and it is subtracting 6.
